justify;"><span style="color: orange;">"All This Time is my salvation story. It is the story of how I met Jesus, and a reminder that whatever we face in life, we don't have to face it alone because Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us. Here is a glimpse at my story and I hope one day I can hear yours.</span><br /><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I was seven years old my parents were going through a divorce. I&nbsp;remember running to my room with tears running down my face and opening&nbsp;my big, pink, Precious Moments Bible (I know some of y'all had one of&nbsp;those too! haha). I grew up hearing my grandpa preach about Jesus and&nbsp;in that moment I needed Him to rescue me. With barely any words I cried&nbsp;out to Jesus and right away I felt His presence fill my bedroom. I knew&nbsp;that He was real; I knew that He was with me and that He would never&nbsp;leave.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ever since that day there has never been a moment that I have walked&nbsp;alone. Jesus has walked with me through the good and the bad. He is a&nbsp;loyal and faithful God; the God who sees our heartache and knows that&nbsp;the picture is much bigger than what we can see. He restores our&nbsp;brokenness and redeems what we thought could never be redeemed.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But, this isn't just about my story, it's about yours. Your story&nbsp;will reach people that I could never reach. Your story could be the&nbsp;beginning of someone else's. So I encourage you to tell your story. No&nbsp;matter how painful, how dark, how broken it may be, let people know that&nbsp;our God rescues, saves, and restores and turns our pain into something&nbsp;beautiful.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Together our stories will change the world and people will know that&nbsp;God is real not because of the mere facts, but because we have&nbsp;experienced Him. I once heard a writer say, "Facts stay lodged in the&nbsp;mind, but stories speak to the heart." Stories disarm the heart. No one&nbsp;can argue with your story. It is real, it is powerful, and it is life&nbsp;changing.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When someone asks me why I believe, I simply say, I believe in Jesus&nbsp;not because someone told me to or because it was the right thing to do,&nbsp;but because I met Him when I was just a little girl and He has been my&nbsp;best friend and Father since. He saved me from a broken life and gave me&nbsp;something to sing about. He restored my darkest moments and I know what&nbsp;the enemy meant for bad, Jesus will turn for good.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not always easy to see in the moment, but if you take a second&nbsp;to stop and look back over your life, you can see how God has always&nbsp;been there watching over you, protecting you, and guiding you all the&nbsp;way up until this very morning. From the first tear cried till today's&nbsp;sunrise, He's been walking with you and with me, All This Time." &nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="color: red;">by Britt web team</span></i></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-58019752785523252252012-02-13T20:28:00.000-08:002012-02-13T20:28:18.766-08:00Wood Ear Mushroom<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QS_fwdaHkK0/TznctA74-KI/AAAAAAAAAnM/n8kOJf1cy1Q/s1600/image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QS_fwdaHkK0/TznctA74-KI/AAAAAAAAAnM/n8kOJf1cy1Q/s200/image.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Wood ear mushrooms, also known as mo-er, black fungus and cloud ear, is used throughout Asia as a edible fungi and a herbal medicine. Cooked wood ear mushrooms have a crisp texture and a dark color that makes it popular, and is used as a folk remedy for circulation and breathing. Medicinal fungi like wood ear mushroom are not intended to replace medical care, and you should always consult with your doctor before purchasing wood ear mushroom products.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Carbohydrates and Proteins</span><br />According to a nutritional study published in the "Bangladesh Journal of Mushrooms" in 2009, researchers found 100 g of dried wood ear mushrooms contained 18.3 percent protein, 18.9 percent carbohydrates and 50 percent dietary fiber. Researchers concluded that the carbohydrates in wood ear mushrooms are not a good source of energy as they are poorly metabolized by the body. However, wood ear mushrooms are a great source of fiber for digestion.<br /><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Vitamins and Minerals</span><br />Wood ear mushrooms contain a range of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. According to a nutritional analysis published in "The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin" in 2008, wood ear mushrooms provide range of important vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, folate and ascorbic acid. In addition, the mushroom also provides minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium.<br /><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Adenosine</span><br />In a study published in "Thrombosis and Haemostasis" in 1982, researchers investigated the adenosine content of wood ear mushrooms. Adenosine is a chemical byproduct from cellular metabolism in the body, and effects blood clotting, blood pressure and heart health. Researchers confirmed that a single gram of dried wood ear mushroom contain 154mcg of adenosine, in addition to other unidentified chemicals which contribute to wood ear's ability to inhibit blood clotting and block platelet aggregation.<br /><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Medical Actions</span><br />According to Mushroom Nutrition, wood ear mushrooms have significant antioxidant properties. The polysaccharides and phenol chemicals in wood ear mushrooms have antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective actions, which may help to prevent many types of chronic illness such as cancer and stroke. The majority of scientific research into wood ear mushrooms have looked into the effects of Auricularia auricula -- a related fungus that is used interchangeably with Auricularia polytricha in Chinese medicine.<br /><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Safety and Toxicity</span><br />Wood ear mushrooms are considered safe and nontoxic for the majority of the population. There is no research into the safety of wood ear mushrooms during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so women during these times should consume wood ear mushrooms with care. Consult with your doctor before eating wood ear mushrooms if you take prescribed medications, as these mushrooms may cause undesirable drug interactions.<br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red;"><i>by Joel Le Blanc</i></span></div><br />Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-25438789973014240052012-02-05T01:23:00.000-08:002012-02-05T01:59:29.075-08:00Types of Worms in The Human Body<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Worms are a parasite, while we almost expect our dogs, horses and cats to suffer from them, and there are a wide variety of worms that would love to make their home inside the human body.&nbsp;<span style="text-align: right;">Parasites can enter our bodies through food, water, mosquito bites, or through the nose and skin.&nbsp;</span>Pinworm eggs can enter ourmouth by fingers, clothing and bed linen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vsJiyNvVhK0/Ty5FCpJYVwI/AAAAAAAAAmc/rU5-YQL6rt4/s1600/Img0078.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="132" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vsJiyNvVhK0/Ty5FCpJYVwI/AAAAAAAAAmc/rU5-YQL6rt4/s200/Img0078.gif" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Pinworms</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The most common form of worm that can be found in the human body is the pinworm. Pinworms live inside the colon but leave to lay their eggs on the outside of the host's body, typically at night in a location the host will reflexively scratch, thus transporting the eggs to infect a new person, or reinfect the host.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lngdwnSOZU8/Ty5LhupSMmI/AAAAAAAAAnE/3KtHDmKFxb8/s1600/hookworm+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lngdwnSOZU8/Ty5LhupSMmI/AAAAAAAAAnE/3KtHDmKFxb8/s200/hookworm+(1).jpg" width="153" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Hookworms</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Hookworms are a particularly nasty parasite that actually has teeth, according to Allergyescape.com. Infection can be caused by consuming compromised fruit or water, or by coming into contact with soil or water where the worms reside. This parasite lives in the intestine, where it drinks blood.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wmarv1EgOeo/Ty5JV5LjflI/AAAAAAAAAms/TB1ZNH3eod0/s1600/toxocariasis-toxocara-roundworm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="143" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wmarv1EgOeo/Ty5JV5LjflI/AAAAAAAAAms/TB1ZNH3eod0/s200/toxocariasis-toxocara-roundworm.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Roundworms</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Another common type of worm that can make its home in the human body is the roundworm. Infected soil or fruits are the main method of transmission to humans.

Undercooked fish is one potential cause of transmission. This parasite feeds by attaching itself to the wall of the intestine where it lives off nutrients that the body absorbs.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-noiiCdIIm94/Ty5Jhz3b-7I/AAAAAAAAAm8/dAL8HrTxcRI/s1600/fasciola.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="104" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-noiiCdIIm94/Ty5Jhz3b-7I/AAAAAAAAAm8/dAL8HrTxcRI/s200/fasciola.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Liver Flukes</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Liver flukes make their home in the human body where they attack the liver and make holes.

Actually it was seriously stormy and we were in Ben’s basement in Anderson, Indiana wanting to write a song about what Jesus meant to each of us. The background of the first verse comes from a real life experience I had as a kid. I loved aquariums and owned a goldfish and one day my parents were out and left me and my friend with a babysitter. I decided to play with my goldfish named Mortimer, and I accidentally killed it. My babysitter seemed to have a danger radar and sensed something went wrong and asked who murdered the fish? I lied and blamed my friend Joel and to my surprise he took the blame for me.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">The next Sunday, I felt terribly guilty for blaming my friend, and I knew I had sinned. In church, I sat in the balcony and started sobbing uncontrollably for what I had done, and I told my mom I was sorry for hurting her and for hurting Jesus. She smiled and said, “It’s okay, Jesus loves you no matter what you’ve done.” So this song is about me and how I sometimes feel like the lowest of all, but I know that Jesus loves me anyway. It was there in that silly, little lie that I began to realize the power of grace. Faults and downfalls will occur, and the true measure of a man or a boy is what we do after those moments. Some tragedies occur and the reason is never known, but in the midst of all storms there is a place where we are safe, a place where we are truly loved, in the arms of Jesus Christ.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">Do you have any Bible verses you used in writing the song?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">John 11:35</span><span style="color: orange;">: </span>Jesus wept.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Luke 23:34</span><span style="color: orange;">: </span>Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Romans 8:38-39</span><span style="color: orange;">: </span>For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">Our shame and guilt was taken away by Jesus at the cross. I know that my sins are the reasons for His crown of thorns and the nails in His wrists and feet. Jesus died for my sins, and His sacrifice is the most beautiful moment in history. The reason for His sacrifice is despicable, our sins. His resurrection is cause for the greatest celebration. God love us that much. It is because of His blood that we can experience true unconditional love and forgiveness. This song is an amazing reflection of the truth that nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus.</span><br /><div><br /></div>The question was raised<br />As my conscience fell<br />A silly, little lie<br />It didn't mean much<br />But it lingers still<br />In the corners of my mind<br /><br />Still you call me to walk<br />On the edge of this world<br />To spread my dreams and fly<br />But the future's so far<br />My heart is so frail<br />I think I'd rather stay inside<br /><span style="color: red;">(Chorus)</span><br />But You love me anyway<br />It's like nothing in life that I've ever known<br />You love me anyway<br />Oh Lord, how You love me<br />How You love me<br /><span style="color: red;">(Verse2)</span><br />It took more than my strength<br />To simply be still<br />To seek but never find<br />All the reasons we change<br />The reasons I doubt<br />And why do loved ones have to die?<br /><span style="color: red;">(Bridge)</span><br />I am the thorn in Your crown<br />But You love me anyway<br />I am the sweat from Your brow<br />But You love me anyway<br />I am the nail in Your wrist<br />But You love me anyway<br />I am Judas' kiss<br />But You love me anyway<br /><br />See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd<br />For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground<br />Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face<br />With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace<br />And then alone in the night, I still called out for You<br />So ashamed of my life, my life, my life</div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-80512852428447640352012-02-04T23:30:00.000-08:002012-02-05T00:37:05.302-08:00Shave your Armpit Hair<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWo3vQuueOg/Ty4_qLg8CfI/AAAAAAAAAmU/aw2Py6Dnqek/s1600/shave.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWo3vQuueOg/Ty4_qLg8CfI/AAAAAAAAAmU/aw2Py6Dnqek/s1600/shave.jpg" /></a></div>Anderson Cancer Center concluded that women who shave her armpits, it was 10 times more susceptible to breast cancer compared with women who let her armpit hair grow as it is. Dr. Therese Bevers of M.D.Anderson reveals, with shaved armpits, you will have many invisible wounds and the pores in armpit will swell. This allows toxins and chemicals from variety of products such as deodorant, powder, and creams will easily enter the skin. Antiperspirant deodorant easily add toxin into the skin, because the antiperspirant prevents sweat out and can help the toxin to enter. Toxin that entered it can be buried in the breast, and the result is the emergence of cancer. Bevers explains that armpit hair is useful for protecting the armpit fromf toxic substances that would come from outside the body.&nbsp;Because there are lymph glands in armpit that facilitate toxin transport, especially to the breasts and other body parts. The possibility of toxin transport to other body parts are also available, so the absence of armpit hair also facilitate the growth of cancer in other body parts such as the lungs, heart, and brain, especially if the breast cancer has grown.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For women who lack maintain her cleanliness, absence of armpit hair also allows bacteria and germs buried in the pores and facilitate the occurrence of ulcers or abscesses. Conclusion of the relationship between cancer and underarm shaving is obtained from data collection toward women in the United States and Europe over the last 10 years. American Cancer Society estimates that only in 2002, there will be 175,000 cases of malignant breast cancer in the United States, and 43,000 deaths will occur due to breast cancer. Bevers said that any hair that grows on our bodies is to maintain vital organ which is nearby, and it is ironic that many women shaved her armpits only for fashion reasons, whereas near the armpit there is a very important organ, the breast. Men proved far more secure against this danger, because most men do not shave his armpits.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do remove underarm hair by other means such as waxes and pulling also increases susceptibility to cancer? Bevers said, removing armpit hairs with shave is the most dangerous because of the possibility of minor injuries is greater. Wax and pulling will make the pores is much bigger than shaving, so that all have the same danger. Bevers recommends that women do not have to shave her armpits because the danger is very large compared with the benefits.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="color: red;">by m03nsu-good4yourhealth.blogspot.com</span></i></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-41365528635163965202012-02-04T23:00:00.000-08:002012-02-04T23:00:15.925-08:00Carry Me To The Cross by Kutless<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6BahULUIdf0?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-30044352893865066972012-02-04T22:24:00.000-08:002012-02-05T00:39:46.860-08:00Cholesterol<div style="text-align: justify;">Cholesterol is essential to life. Every&nbsp;cell in your body requires cholesterol&nbsp;in its membranes. Cholesterol is also&nbsp;the starting material from which your&nbsp;body makes vitamin D, steroid hormones and bile acids for digestion.&nbsp;<span style="color: yellow;">Cholesterol is</span> one member of a large&nbsp;family of chemical compounds known&nbsp;as lipids. The more common name for&nbsp;lipids is fats. There are five major&nbsp;groups of lipids:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ol><li><span style="color: orange;">sterols (cholesterol, some hormones)</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">fat-soluble vitamins (A,E,K)</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">fatty acids (saturated or unsaturated)</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">glyceryl esters (dietary and body fat)</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">sphingolipids (components of cell&nbsp;membranes)</span></li></ol><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iThFGwx0lLA/Ty4TBsblDOI/AAAAAAAAAmE/whO76wvBM58/s1600/image.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iThFGwx0lLA/Ty4TBsblDOI/AAAAAAAAAmE/whO76wvBM58/s1600/image.gif" /></a></div><div><div><div>Cholesterol in blood is usually described as serum or plasma cholesterol. Serum or plasma is the watery&nbsp;part of blood remaining after red and&nbsp;white blood cells have been removed.&nbsp;The pool of cholesterol in blood contains cholesterol from two sources:&nbsp;outside the body (foods), and manufactured inside the body. Cholesterol&nbsp;is made primarily in the liver and&nbsp;intestine from fragments of fats,&nbsp;proteins, and carbohydrates. Cholesterol is withdrawn from blood&nbsp;for use in cell membranes; in tissues&nbsp;such as heart, liver or muscle; and for&nbsp;making &nbsp;hormones and bile acids.<br /><br /><br /></div></div></div></div><div><div>Cholesterol, being a lipid, does not&nbsp;mix with water. In order to travel&nbsp;through the blood, a watery system,&nbsp;cholesterol is coated with protein.&nbsp;The resulting macro-molecule is a&nbsp;lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are carriers&nbsp;for transporting cholesterol throughout the body. Five major classes of&nbsp;lipoproteins have been identified. Two&nbsp;(LDL and HDL) are commonly measured by blood tests and are linked to&nbsp;risks for coronary heart disease.</div><div><ul><li><span style="color: yellow;">Low density lipoprotein (LDL)</span><span style="color: orange;"> is&nbsp;composed largely of lipid (triglyceride&nbsp;and cholesterol) with only a small&nbsp;amount of protein. LDL-cholesterol is&nbsp;generally on its way to be deposited in&nbsp;tissues, including the artery wall.&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">your body. They’re also a major energy source.&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">They come from food, and your body also makes&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">them.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">High density lipoprotein (HDL)</span><span style="color: orange;"> contains less&nbsp;cholesterol and more protein. HDL-cholesterol is&nbsp;probably on its way out of the body pool of&nbsp;cholesterol. &nbsp;For example, it may be on its way to&nbsp;the liver where some of it will be converted into&nbsp;bile acids. Both cholesterol and bile acids are&nbsp;secreted into the intestine.</span></li></ul><div><div>Unlike fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, cholesterol cannot be used for energy. Small amounts&nbsp;of cholesterol can be used up making hormones&nbsp;and vitamin D.&nbsp;However, the major products made from cholesterol are bile acids. &nbsp;Formed in the liver, bile&nbsp;acids are secreted into the intestine where they&nbsp;help digest fat. &nbsp;Some of the bile acids are excreted with waste from the digestive tract. Most&nbsp;of the bile acids are recycled and reused. The&nbsp;body excretes approximately 1,000-1,400 mg&nbsp;cholesterol each day. That’s three to four times the 300 milligram USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) recommended limit for dietary cholesterol. The liver has mechanisms which regulate cholesterol production in response to our dietary cholesterol intake. The more dietary cholesterol that is consumed, the less the liver makes.</div></div></div></div><div><span style="color: red;">Risk categories for LDL-Cholesterol</span></div><div><div><ul><li><span style="color: orange;">less than 130 mg/dL, average check in 5 &nbsp;years</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">130-160 mg/dL, moderate check every &nbsp;year</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">161-189 mg/dL, high diet therapy for 6 months; if little change, begin drug therapy</span></li><li><span style="color: orange;">190 mg/dL and over extreme begin both diet and drug therapy at once</span></li></ul><div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red;"><i>Prepared by Elisabeth Schafer, Ph.D., extension nutrition</i></span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red;"><i>specialist and Diane Nelson, extension communications specialist</i></span></div></div></div></div></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-30949994516271489062012-01-28T19:05:00.000-08:002012-01-30T23:53:46.879-08:00Is There a Food Better Than Fruit?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o0triDQzyuw/TySq2rC7pPI/AAAAAAAAAlM/Hm0Ag-8_0_s/s1600/fruits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o0triDQzyuw/TySq2rC7pPI/AAAAAAAAAlM/Hm0Ag-8_0_s/s1600/fruits.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fruit has always been recognized as one of the healthiest foods there is. In the minds of most people, fruit is seen as a healthy food we should eat more of due to its vitamin content. But even when realizing the exceptional nutritional qualities of fruit, very few people actually give it the place it deserves in the diet. Fruit is still eaten as a “snack” or a “dessert,” but is rarely seen as a staple food. In the mind of the masses, fruit is a “healthy snack” but not something that can really sustain a hard-working man, like meat or bread. They don’t realize that fruit should be a staple in the diet, and has been for thousands upon thousands of years, long before bread and rice were cultivated, and long before cheese, sandwiches and twinkies were invented.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fruit is the ideal food for exercise. The best post workout snack or meal is not muffins, yogurt, or protein shakes, but fresh fruit. Runners and other athletes have long known that there is nothing better than high-water content, sweet fruit, such as oranges or melons, after a workout. They contain enough water to hydrate the body and their natural sugars are quickly utilized for energy production.&nbsp;Regular physical activity improves insulin sensitivity, which is the effectiveness of insulin in transporting sugar to your cells. In other words, if you exercise, you’ll be able to utilize fruit sugar a lot better and will be less likely to experience ‘sugar swings’ and blood sugar fluctuations.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="color: red;">Fruit eating offers many benefits:</span><br /><br /><ul><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is the best source of the natural sugar needed for energy.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is packed with vitamins, and still represents the best source of vitamins in any food.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is packed with anti-oxidants.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is easier to digest than grains. Fruit is basically pre-digested. Digesting ripe fruit hardly requires any digestive enzymes, and is thus less taxing to the body.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is alkaline forming (whereas meat, fish, grains and legumes are acid-forming).</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit contains an abundance of pure water.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is easy to eat. It doesn’t require much preparation.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit is beautiful. All of our senses are nourished by fruit, not just our taste buds.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">People who eat lots of fruit live longer. A study published in the British Medical Journal (September 2001), showed that fresh fruit offers the best bet for a long life. The results of a study showed that frequent fruit eaters had a 32 percent lower risk of dying from cerebrovascular disease such as stroke, and a 24 percent lower risk of dying from ischemic heart disease, than those who ate fruit less than once a day.</span></li><li><span style="color: yellow;">Fruit contains lots of fiber, which is necessary for optimum digestion.</span></li></ul><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Natural Hygienists have known for a long time that fruit doesn’t combine well with other foods. The reason is that fruit contains simple sugars that require no digestion. Thus, they will not stay for a long time in the stomach. Other foods, such as foods rich in fat, protein and starch, will stay in the stomach for a longer period of time because they require more digestion. So if you eat fruit after a meal, the fruit sugar will stay for too long in the stomach and ferment. This is why people experience digestive trouble when eating fruit that way. They then blame that particular fruit for their trouble and claim that they are “allergic” to it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Natural Hygienists have been recommending for a long time that fruit be eaten alone with no other foods. They have also recommended eating melons alone and avoiding mixing acid fruits with sweet fruits such as bananas. These are great recommendations, but can be definitely be simplified.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many people have a difficult time eating a meal of fruit alone. They’ll eat a meal of melon and not so long after they’ll be hungry again, for the simple and obvious reason that melons are not calorie dense. Eating a small cantaloupe (200 calories) is not going to sustain you for very long.&nbsp;The solution to this is very simple: since fruit digests so fast, it is possible to eat fruit before any other food. You can, when you are hungry, eat as much fruit as you care for. One type of fruit only would be ideal. Then wait a little bit, like 5-10 minutes, and have any other food you desire. This can be a salad, a little avocado with tomatoes, some nuts, or anything. It can be cooked food too. If you’ve been trying to follow food-combining rules without success, this new information could be very valuable to you.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">It has been known for a long time that fruit is one of the most alkaline forming foods there is. Even if it is acid to the taste, like oranges, after digestion the end result is alkaline-forming.&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">Alkaline means a substance has a pH of more than seven. This means the it can freely "donate" electrons to hydrogen ions. The opposite of being alkaline is being acidic.&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">Less than 7.0 is acidic (sour) and more is alkaline (sweet)</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red;"><i>by Frederic Patenaude</i></span></div><br />Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-73702112150836211912012-01-16T22:53:00.000-08:002012-02-04T23:53:30.466-08:00Someone Worth Dying For by MikesChair<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oF5CjtrIl_c?rel=0" width="560"></iframe><br /><span style="color: red;">Please tell me about the background message behind the song “Someone Worth Dying For.”</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">I would say over the last couple of years, we’ve wrestled with the concept of where we’re looking to find our worth. The harsh realization of that struggle is that the answer isn’t always Christ. That can be everything from family to jobs, to in our situation, fans, sales and radio. This song is a culmination of what that meant for us in that season. Jesus established our worth the day that He died for us on the Cross. When we look other places, we’re never going to see what we are truly worth, because they only One who can do that is Jesus. This song was birthed out of that season. We hear so many stories from different people who struggle with cutting themselves because they don’t feel like they are worth anything, to a mom who thinks all her life is about is driving around her kids, and dropping them off places, and she wonders if her life is really worth what Jesus did for her. It’s really just that realization that no matter where we are, Christ saw it fit to die for us to make us worthy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">Do you have a life verse or any Bible verses you used in writing the song?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">John 3:16-17</span><span style="color: orange;">:</span> “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">What's the takeaway message for listeners regarding the song?&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">The message of this song for us is so humbling, and I can’t find a better reason to worship than the fact that although I’m not worth it, Christ died to make me worthy. Jesus explained that He came to die as a humble servant on our behalf. There are critics that will say we’re not worthy of God dying for our sins. That’s exactly the point, we’re totally not worth it on our own. That’s the beauty of the Gospel; Jesus Himself tells us that we are worth dying for. You can’t even sing a children’s song like “Jesus Loves Me” and then say in the same breath that we’re not worth anything. Our hope is that this song doesn’t bring an essence of pride in any way that we’re worth something, it’s more the humble realization that even though we’re not worth what Jesus did, He did it anyway. That means it has nothing to do with us, it has everything to do with what He has done for us.

It’s monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that’s known widely as an addition to Chinese food, but that’s actually added to thousands of the foods you eat<i>.&nbsp;</i><span style="color: yellow;"><i>Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate or MSG, is the sodium salt of 'glutamic acid'</i>.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Ups1K2yTVM/Tw57U_nZDRI/AAAAAAAAAiU/nJADZheKZ3Y/s1600/pic01.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8Ups1K2yTVM/Tw57U_nZDRI/AAAAAAAAAiU/nJADZheKZ3Y/s1600/pic01.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About 99 percent of monosodium glutamate (MSG) is glutamic acid.&nbsp;Glutamate act as neurotransmitters in the brain by facilitating the transmission of information from neuron to neuron. Too much glutamate in the brain kills certain neurons by allowing the influx of too much calcium into the cells. This influx triggers excessive amounts of free radicals, which kill the cells. The neural cell damage that can be caused by excessive glutamate is why they are referred to as "excitotoxins." They "excite" or stimulate the neural cells to death.&nbsp;Glutamic&nbsp;acid is an amino acid. Taken in its free form (unbound to proteins) it significantly raises the blood plasma level of glutamate.&nbsp;The excess glutamate in the blood plasma shortly after ingesting products with free glutamic acid (glutamate precursor) leads to a high level of those neurotransmitters in certain areas of the brain.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">The blood brain barrier (BBB), which normally protects the brain from excess glutamate as well as toxins, 1) is not fully developed during childhood, 2) does not fully protect all areas of the brain, 3) is damaged by numerous chronic and acute conditions, and 4) allows seepage of excess glutamate into the brain even when intact.&nbsp;</span><span style="color: orange;">The excess glutamate slowly begin to destroy neurons. The large majority (75 percent or more) of neural cells in a particular area of the brain are killed before any clinical symptoms of a chronic illness are noticed.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are a couple of main reasons why MSG is one of the worst food additives on the market. First, as Dr. Blaylock, author of the highly recommended Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills, MSG is an excitotoxin, which means that it overexcites your cells to the point of damage, acting as a poison. The second part of the equation is that MSG can be literally hidden in food labels, under names like<i><span style="color: red;">&nbsp;Broth, Casein, Hydrolyzed, Autolyzed,&nbsp;Gelatin,&nbsp;Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP),&nbsp;Yeast Extract,&nbsp;Malted Barley,&nbsp;Rice Syrup or Brown Rice Syrup</span></i>&nbsp;and more, making it extremely difficult to identify.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">MSG is also a probable cause contributing to the obesity epidemic. As the FDA continues to vouch for its safety, scientists have known that MSG causes obesity since the 1960s!&nbsp;It is clearly not worth a few bites of tasty junk food to give your body the green light to produce visceral fat, the most dangerous type that surrounds your organs and increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, insomnia, type 2 diabetes, and more.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="color: red;">by Dr. Mercola</span></i></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-69515974327353699382012-01-11T20:31:00.000-08:002012-01-11T20:31:20.832-08:00Say No to Aspartame<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SVh5QuxPqXY/Tw5blYObLDI/AAAAAAAAAhU/yAdPtALfRdQ/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SVh5QuxPqXY/Tw5blYObLDI/AAAAAAAAAhU/yAdPtALfRdQ/s200/images.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Aspartame is</span> an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. &nbsp;It was first sold under the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.&nbsp;<span style="color: yellow;">Aspartame is made up of three chemicals:</span><span style="color: red;"> aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol.</span> The book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the category of "chemical poison." As you shall see, that is exactly what it is.&nbsp;It can be found in over 5,000 products. These include diet soft drinks, sports drinks, gum, coffees, teas, Kool-Aid type drinks, children's vitamins, antibiotics, frozen dairy desserts such as ice cream and yogurts, and much more. It is very difficult to live without consuming aspartame.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_59R9sOhrdw/Tw5cf4YRlBI/AAAAAAAAAhc/GtOotd4pmi4/s1600/images+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="171" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_59R9sOhrdw/Tw5cf4YRlBI/AAAAAAAAAhc/GtOotd4pmi4/s200/images+%25281%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: red;">Aspartic Acid (40 percent of Aspartame)</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Aspartic acid is a neuroexcitatory amino acid that plays a role in stimulating the nervous system, caused "holes in the brain".&nbsp;Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, a professor of neurosurgery at the Medical University of Mississippi, recently published a book thoroughly detailing the damage that is caused by the ingestion of excessive aspartic acid from aspartame. Blaylock makes use of almost 500 scientific references to show how excess free excitatory amino acids such as aspartic acid in our food supply are causing serious chronic neurological disorders and a myriad of other acute symptoms.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-olOsD1mtuNY/Tw5cmqJ8dEI/AAAAAAAAAhk/Ih43k2iQdvY/s1600/images+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-olOsD1mtuNY/Tw5cmqJ8dEI/AAAAAAAAAhk/Ih43k2iQdvY/s200/images+%25282%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: red;">Phenylalanine (50 percent of aspartame)</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Phenylalanine is an amino acid normally found in the brain. Persons with the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolize phenylalanine. This leads to dangerously high levels of phenylalanine in the brain (sometimes lethal). It has been shown that ingesting aspartame, especially along with carbohydrates, can lead to excess levels of phenylalanine in the brain even in persons who do not have PKU.&nbsp;This is not just a theory, as many people who have eaten large amounts of aspartame over a long period of time and do not have PKU have been shown to have excessive levels of phenylalanine in the blood. Excessive levels of phenylalanine in the brain can cause the levels of seratonin in the brain to decrease, leading to emotional disorders such as depression. It was shown in human testing that phenylalanine levels of the blood were increased significantly in human subjects who chronically used aspartame.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I5rEkhSIyMU/Tw5ekY8HDtI/AAAAAAAAAhs/VmvPGeANGIw/s1600/images+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I5rEkhSIyMU/Tw5ekY8HDtI/AAAAAAAAAhs/VmvPGeANGIw/s200/images+%25283%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: red;">Methanol/(wood alcohol) (10 percent of aspartame)</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Methanol/wood alcohol is a deadly poison. Some people may remember methanol as the poison that has caused some "skid row" alcoholics to end up blind or dead.&nbsp;It is well-known in the literature for doing damage to the eyes, liver, brain, and other organs of the body.&nbsp;Methanol is gradually released in the small intestine when the methyl group of aspartame encounter the enzyme chymotrypsin.&nbsp;The absorption of methanol into the body is sped up considerably when free methanol is ingested. Free methanol is created from aspartame when it is heated to above 86 Fahrenheit (30 Centigrade). This would occur when aspartame-containing product is improperly stored or when it is heated.</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red;"><i>&nbsp;by Dr. Mercola</i></span></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-18039165547930418682012-01-10T22:03:00.000-08:002012-01-10T22:07:26.311-08:00Alternative Cancer Treatment<div style="text-align: justify;">Natural medicinal herb as an alternative cancer treatment &nbsp;using &nbsp;Typhonium Flagelliforme/Rodent Tuber /Keladi Tikus extract has proven to heal cancer patients such as breast cancer , colon cancer, rectum cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, cervical and lung cancer.Yes, it heals haemorrhoid and vaginal discharge too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kmWpiw-LGMg/Tw0gcLBcC6I/AAAAAAAAAhM/EHayTcWCNHw/s1600/images+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kmWpiw-LGMg/Tw0gcLBcC6I/AAAAAAAAAhM/EHayTcWCNHw/s1600/images+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">What is Typhonium Flagelliforme?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">Typhonium Flagelliforme (Lodd) BL is the scientific name for rodent tuber in English or keladi tikus in bahasa Melayu.

It grows typically &nbsp;in a moist habitat and should be kept from direct sunlight. The green leaves are round and pointy at the end form like a betel leaf shape. Typhonium flagelliforme is a herbal plant grows in East Asia.

Those who consume diets rich in potassium are 50% less likely to have a stroke compared to their non-potassium consuming peers, according to a study recently published in Neurology. This mineral also fights high blood pressure and UCSF researchers found it may prevent osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The "b" in bananas reminds us they are an excellent source of vitamin B6, which according to Dr. Terry Shultz, a professor at Washington State University, has been shown to lower the risk of colon, prostate, lung, gastric and pancreatic cancers.

Eating bananas produced the anti-cancer substance TNF, increased the white blood cells count, and improved the immunity of the body.</span></span></li></ol><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></i><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span style="color: red;">by Chongyim Ng</span></i></i></div><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></i></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-73359818543355397612012-01-10T04:46:00.000-08:002012-01-10T20:48:48.587-08:00Health and Safety Concerns About Plastic<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UTPBMH3G_DU/TwwjAIp1coI/AAAAAAAAAf0/tUycbw6lVPA/s1600/images+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UTPBMH3G_DU/TwwjAIp1coI/AAAAAAAAAf0/tUycbw6lVPA/s200/images+%25281%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">It is an unavoidable component of many parts of daily living for most people in the United States and urban centers worldwide. Our food and water is packaged and shipped and consumed from plastic containers and many studies have shown that the chemicals from these containers may leach into the food or liquids they hold, eventually entering and being absorbed by the human body. While there is some controversy about how much is absorbed and how detrimental this is to the individual, it is hard to deny that plastic may pose a health threat to the consumer, even if all the data is not yet conclusive. Here is a breakdown of the latest information on plastics as a safety concern.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUPjcRzYDjg/Twwy6qaCb1I/AAAAAAAAAg8/6civszA5ZaU/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUPjcRzYDjg/Twwy6qaCb1I/AAAAAAAAAg8/6civszA5ZaU/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div><span style="color: red;">The following plastics do have known potential health hazards:</span></div><div><div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Code 3: Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC / Vinyl. This material, used often in flooring and shower curtains, as well as household water pipes (primarily for evacuation only - they should never be used to bring fresh water into the home), used to be used in cling wraps. The plastics industry is adamant that the type of PVC currently used in cling wraps does not contain the phthalates that are known endocrine disrupters. However, these phthalates may still be present in PVC bottles and toys. There was recent information that many baby teethers were also made from PVC, due to its soft flexibility. PVC or vinyl items should never be given to a baby or child who may put them in his or her mouth.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Code 6: Polystyrene, or PS / Styrofoam. As well as being another endocrine disrupter, styrene is also believed to be a carcinogen. This plastic is used to make some types of disposable forks, spoons and knives and also the "foam" cups such as those sold under the name Styrofoam. Hot liquid can cause the styrene to leach out of these products, as can fatty oils or alcohol.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Code 7: Other "resins" and Polycarbonate, or PC. This one has been hotly contested by the plastics industry because of the high heat required for the endocrine disruptor, Bisphenol - A (BPA), to be released. However, BPA is a primary component of PC plastics and is a verifiably dangerous compound. PC is largely used for water bottles of the type used for delivery services (multi-galon containers) that fit on the "water cooler" at home or office. Many clear baby bottles are made of PC and there is much in the news about the controversy of these bottles not being labled with any code so that consumers cannot tell what type of plastic is used. With baby bottles, this is a real concern, as many people boil the bottles with formula or milk inside them. PC is also used in food cans with a plastic lining. Whenever possible, it is recommended that these plastics not be exposed to high temperatures. The plastics industry insists that they are completely stable under most conditions but some studies suggest that leaching still occurs.</span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="color: red;">by Jeffrey Poehlmann</span></i></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-3297229420342767782012-01-05T19:29:00.000-08:002012-01-06T23:04:15.606-08:00Benefits of Drinking Water<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rfwiTb67Sho/TwZoy-foSXI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/rzC9HruDqiQ/s1600/image002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rfwiTb67Sho/TwZoy-foSXI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/rzC9HruDqiQ/s1600/image002.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. You need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to your organs and tissues. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.</span><br /><span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">2 Glasses of Water after waking up&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Helps Activate&nbsp;Internal Organs</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">1 Glass of Water &nbsp;30 minutes before a meal&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Helps&nbsp;Digestion</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">1 Glass of Water before taking a bath&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Helps lower&nbsp;Blood Pressure</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: orange;">1 Glass of Water before going to bed&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Avoids Stroke&nbsp;or Heart Attack</span><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Weight loss</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Water is one of the best tools for weight loss, first of all because it often replaces high-calorie drinks like soda and juice and alcohol with a drink that doesn't have any calories. But it's also a great appetite suppressant, and often when we think we're hungry, we're actually just thirsty. Water has no fat, no calories, no carbs, no sugar. Drink plenty to help your weight-loss regimen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Heart healthy</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Drinking a good amount of water could lower your risks of a heart attack. A six-year study published in the May 1, 2002 American Journal of Epidemiology found that those who drink more than 5 glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die from a heart attack during the study period than those who drank less than two glasses.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Energy</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Being dehydrated can sap your energy and make you feel tired -- even mild dehydration of as little as 1 or 2 percent of your body weight. If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated -- and this can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness and other symptoms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Headache cure</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Another symptom of dehydration is headaches. In fact, often when we have headaches it's simply a matter of not drinking enough water. There are lots of other causes of headaches of course, but dehydration is a common one.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Healthy skin</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Drinking water can clear up your skin and people often report a healthy glow after drinking water. It won't happen overnight, of course, but just a week of drinking a healthy amount of water can have good effects on your skin.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Digestive problems</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Our digestive systems need a good amount of water to digest food properly. Often water can help cure stomach acid problems, and water along with fiber can cure constipation (often a result of dehydration).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Cleansing</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Cancer risk</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Related to the digestive system item above, drinking a healthy amount of water has also been found to reduce the risk of colon cancer by 45%. Drinking lots of water can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 50% and potentially reduce the risk of breast cancer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: yellow;">Better exercise</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Being dehydrated can severely hamper your athletic activities, slowing you down and making it harder to lift weights. Exercise requires additional water, so be sure to hydrate before, during and after exercise.</span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: red; text-align: justify;"><i>by Leo Babauta</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Nugnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339853489337654845.post-13121066878714319422012-01-03T23:27:00.001-08:002012-01-06T04:47:10.511-08:00The Best Time to Sleep<span style="font-family: Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;">Evening at 9pm - 11pm</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bzkcHRsQ3iw/TwbruGgultI/AAAAAAAAAdk/BBTjEjtl414/s1600/images+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bzkcHRsQ3iw/TwbruGgultI/AAAAAAAAAdk/BBTjEjtl414/s1600/images+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).
